Peter S Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 I was looking at the carpets in the OPG catalog, and the picture they display (and says factory correct heel pad) had a different looking heel pad design than my current carpet. I pulled my carpet and it sure seems original. Any thoughts on whether or not this first gen stayed 100% consistent? Quote
rsorg Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 i am very happy with acc carpet , color was spot on ,roger Quote
jft69z Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 Get the part number you want from ACC (auto Custom Carpet), then order it from Rock Auto. Cheaper than anywhere else, including the shipping. It'll get drop shipped to you from ACC anyways. They also offer it with 'Mass Backing', which is a thicker underlayment pad. Sits much nicer in the car and is well worth the extra cost. I don't order the carpets without that. If you need help, list your year, color, etc & we'll help you get the right one. (FWIW, OPGI is most people's last resort to order from, based on actual experiences with them). 5 Quote

The good news is the original floor pan looks pristine 😎 That's good news! AcC is pretty much the only supplier. Every vendor pretty much takes your order, then ACC delivers it. Don't order direct from them though, you'll pay WAY more than you have to. Their matching floor mats are good too, and usually worth getting at the same time. 3 Quote

Just got notified today that my back ordered from September rubber floor mats and key blank came in. Because I was a walk in to their Seal Beach showroom to purchase what turned out to be a back ordered item, they don’t charge shipping. 2 Quote

Before volume on the radio was at 24 on the sound bar so we could hear over the road and car noise. After the radio is now rn on 9 or 10. We also can talk to each other without screaming. 1 Quote

I can only steer the car so long with my knee. 3 Quote

Amy and I have been together for over 30 years. All we do is scream at one another 😂 1 Quote
